The script is just a basic optimizer for XML & HTML. It can be used to any HTML & XML files. I restart the system to check the difference of non-optimized and optimized database. I have 7814 songs, and The difference is when it's non-optimized, rhythmbox will start loading the songs, counting 2 digits, (i.e. 40, 46, 49....7814) for 30 seconds or so, but when it's optimized, the counting will skip to 3 digits to 4 digits in just seconds, (i.e. 146, 300, 615....7814), and rhythmbox starts much faster. Rhythmbox will reformat the XML, so the script will be needed to run again. I think it's good to run the script at startup because once rhythmbox had been loaded, it'll be much faster, for both optimized and non-optimized, so re-running the script is a good idea when the cached memory had been cleared. a backup of your current databases will be created (rhythmdb_backup.xml, playlists_backup.xml), so just copy it to the rhythmdb.xml. The databases are in $HOME/.gnome2/rhythmbox/ directory. The script is attached in this message, (rhythmbox-quickstart) JB -- Joel Bryan T.
